Equipment

Unissued Heer M44 rucksack marked R.B.-Nr. 0/0834/0029. The rucksack is made from scrap material such as tunic support straps and British webbing.

Textbook pre war issue compass made by MK. The compass is complete with its original leather lanyard. Hard to find set in good condition!

A rare Hautentgiftungsmittel box with all contents. Rare to encounter with the red pressed paper box and the remains of the original label on the flask!

Tall M38 gasmask in grey green camouflage paint that is often seen with Kriegsmarine items. The canister is in good used condition retaining up to 85% of its original paint. The number 704 can be seen on top and underneath the field applied paint. The canister is a nice example in period camouflage paint!

Very nice late war simplified map case manufactured out of brown pebbled leather. The mapcase is complete with its carrying sling which is virtually always missing. The mapcase contains its original contents: A pencil, two period ball pens, a single Leutnant shoulder board and a clear mapcase insert dated 1939. Very nice untouched grouping!

Rare Gebirgsjäger issue rucksack Tauern Sack dated 1939 in good used condition. These rucksacks are more then often civilian examples but this is a military issued piece. Inside it is nicely maker marked Hans Deuter, Augsburg 1939. Next to this is a depot marking RAD BA M/L 2. 40. which in theory is a RAD clothing and equipment depot but I have seen several Heer M36 field blouses with the RADBAS depot marking. The rucksack is in good used condition, and, as far, is the only issued example I have ever seen! Rare example for the GBJ collector!

Late war Heer Ampere meter in tan case in excellent, used condition. Usually these pieces come in a leather or Pressstoff case but this is the first tan metal example I have seen. Hard to find with this type of late war wood and tan painted metal combination case!

Textbook blue Luftwaffe issue M31 breadbag in excellent condition. The breadbag is a typical late war example without leather reinforcements and steel hardware. Textbook example with its original strap!

Pioneer axe marked 1935 WaA #3640. Very hard to find pre war pioneer equipment in good condition. Most if not all of these axes found new homes and uses post world war two. Finding one in this condition with this early date is exceptionally hard. The serial number marked inside is a typical wartime feature as axes and other pioneer items were numbered and noted in the Soldbuch!

Nice original bakelite handset for the field phone. This special handset was developed so that the soldier could wear a helmet whilst operating a field phone or radio. Nice and rare equipment piece!

Very nice “tropical” M31 breadbag in good condition. This breadbag is most likely made in the Ghetto of Lodz, Poland which the Germans renamed into “Litzmannstadt”. They are made using parts of captured British equipment items. These British equipment items where left in 1940 when the (BEF) British Expeditionary Force evacuated to the United Kingdom. The Germans sent this British equipment to Litzmannstadt for recycling and a lot of work was put in disassembling every British equipment piece and recycling the individual parts into German army equipment. Y-straps, A-frames and rucksacks are a few of the items made in Litzmannstadt. Very nice original M31 breadbag!

Nice original Gasplane in unissued/mint condition. This example is nicely marked elm 32/5/43 80g, elm indicates production by an unknown manufacturer. Hard to find spare in this condition!

Perfect set of early straps for the gasmask canister in stone mint condition, unissued condition. The straps are made out of dark green coarse webbing with all aluminium hardware which retains 99% of the green factory finish. The straps are complete with the leather reinforcements which are mint as well and nicely painted green. The leather reinforcements are nicely marked Robert Larsen, Berlin SW68 1940. The ovarial condition of this set is simply amazing and this is for sure the best spare set of early gasmask canister straps that I have ever offered!

Nice original Gasplane in unissued/mint condition. The gascape is nicely marked aqd which indicates production by a still unidentified manufacturer. Hard to find a loose gascape and not just the pouch, perfect to fill up the pouch with an original gascape!

Textbook pre war Kriegsmarine issue M31 breadbag in very good condition. This is a typical pre war manufactured example which features aluminium hardware, leather reinforcements on the belt loops and field grey fabric. The breadbag is nicely marked Bekleidungs Amt Kiel (B.A.K.), 1937, sadly the manufacturers marking is unreadable. Typical Kriegsmarine issue example with its original broad carrying strap. Textbook Kriegsmarine issue example!

Excellent late war M38 gasmask with tall canister. The canister is complete with both its short and long carrying strap. Very nice late war black rubber mask with blue painted hardware! Nice untouched set!
